I was opportuned to watch the HL of Enyimba's match against WAC at Aba and another CCC match involving a Kenya side Gor Mahia and Young African Stars in Nairobi. If I must confess Enyimba(Nigeria's only rep still in the continental cup) is no where close to the kind of class shown by the three other teams. The pitch in Kenya is far better than the bumpy lawn we call football pitch that Enyimba played on. I was forced to change channel when I could no longer take it in.

Example Wasiu Alalade that claims to be 18 is closer to 30, if not already in his 30s. Same with Adeshina Gata.



Gata is a small boy unless he has Aki and Paw Paw.

Gata graduated from Kwara Poly in 2014.. 4 years ago

Did he graduate at 15 years?

We see management problems in all facets of the Nigerian experience. We need to move these clubs to private hands.

See what i told you.

Kelechi Nwakali to Porto B

Waste of time..


Trust me, KC Nwakali is going to Porto first team not B team even though he might sparingly turn out for the B team when the need arises because of his age.

No fear

That is from Porto official page. They signed him for Porto B. Meaning, they are unlikely to register him for the first team until maybe January if he is outstanding.

Dalung has apparently inaugurated a committee to check age cheating. It would be interesting to see how they go about this.

Benjamin Okenna, the pidgin English commentator for the Russia 2018 is very talented and is back home at last.

The NPFL won't look his way now to use him to bait people to at least listen to radio commentaries of NPFL games. His comical and sacarsm usage is topnotch and would help the followership of the NPFL at least.


That's how Jon and Jim started decades ago.

Even though I am being delusional by having this thoughts, I just hope Aigbogun is trynna use these men to secure qualification, then use the right players(bulk of which are European based) at the proper event as the qualification falls outside the fifa window and clubs wont be releasing their players.

Nope. I am talking of the same Adeshina Gata in the under 20 team

Adeshina Issa Gata from Akwa United is the one, i am talking about. Formerly of ABS.

He graduated secondary school in 2010 and finished from Kwara Poly in 2014.

Meet one of the highest goal scorer with ten goals in the local league. Adeshina Ismaila Gata is from Kwara state and a graduate of Kwara State polytechnic. Gata plays for Ifeanyi Uba FC. He speaks with ESTHER EGBE about the game and more.

I do not understand the rationale of Nwakali going to play second division football for another season. Who advises these players?

We Nigerians must know our place in the food chain with respect to football, especially fans. I think there is a disconnect with our understanding and actually what is on ground.
Let's leave the Nigerian arrogance and insatiable want for all our players to be playing for big clubs for a moment.
Truth is the chances of that happening is very low. A Nigerian born in Nigeria will have to slug it out in the lower reaches and prove himself beyond reasonable doubt before he gets a look in for an average team in the top leagues.

When was the last time a Nigerian transfered to a traditional European heavy weight? I can only recall Taye Taiwo to Ac Milan, Victor Moses and before him Mikel Obi to Chelsea. In between those we haven't produced any body worthy to be signed to the FIRST TEAM of a BIG CLUB ( stress on first team) , yet we think we are a big football country.

You only see a hand full of Nigerians playing in the Uefa Champions league, which after the group stages, you will hardly see any Nigerian player feature apart from Moses at Chelsea. Since Chelsea and Arsenal aren't in the Champions league I doubt we will have a single player in knock out rounds of the champions league this year. I stand to be corrected.

We are simply not as good as we think as far as I'm concerned. The foundation of our football needs to be fixed from scratch.

If the names are identical that heightens the chance of a mix up. Unless u have his degree in tote or a cousin that went to his school. What are the odds that NPFL players having the same name graduated from the same poly? U too try reason am small na.

I do not expect Nwakali to move to a big club but he has a good enough profile to get him a good deal in the top flight of Belgium. portugal or even Holland again. Going to play Portuguese 2nd division does not really help him. He needs to be raising the level he is playing at to improve.

I saw a couple of minutes of the Mamelodi Sundowns game against a club side in Lome, I wept for Nigeria. The quality of the playing turf was about the same standard I saw at the world cup. I can't understand how a municipal stadium in Lome can boast of a better playing surface than the Nigerian national stadium.

The playing surface I saw actually gave credence to what someone who took a team to Togo narrated. The guy said at half time, when his boys were about going to the changing room, sprinklers emerged from the middle of the pitch watering the grass. His boys were so amazed that they couldn't concentrate on his team talk, because they have never seen such a thing in their lifes.
I find it amazing up till now, we still cannot figure out how to grow ordinary grass. Smh

Victor was injured in his first year and last season was his first as a full professional. Orji was scoring at Bologna but the goals dried up in a lesser division meaning he still has a lot to learn. I truly expect Victor to have a break out campaign this season.

Orji was with the first team throughout last season. If he doesn't play, he is on the bench.

I understand.

That is where good agents come in. Good agents can get you good clubs for your development. Awaziem's loan move to Nantes has raised his profile in Porto. He is likely to play an important role for Porto next year.

That is the kind of move Nwakali needs. A move that raises his profile whether he makes a career at Arsenal or elsewhere
